K-Pop (General Discussion)

[He]

Dddd the drama of it all. JYP sacrificed nothing (except maybe Somi kii).

ITZY have nothing to do with either of these groups besides coming from the same agency. It's clear that JYP have a particular vision for this group in regards to their sound and aesthetic, which I imagine is largely motivated by their desire to ensure both ITZY and TWICE can co-exist without cannibalising one another. Granted the group is severely lacking vocal talent (let's be real, so were/are TWICE), but they more than make up for it with their unbelievable charisma and dance skills. It's still really early days for the group but the potential is there.

Basically:
They keep talkin’,

JYP is never about the vocals though. But they do work on getting their acts their own vocal identity. For better (Wonder Girls) or worse (Twice), they always stand out.

Sunmi isn’t the only LGBTqueen round these parts.

BOPPPPPPPP

@OspreyQueen you can still change your KPJC ballot, unnie. xoxo

Oh wow, this is much better than their last song (not that it was bad, but it was just a half-assed rehash of their debut, this actually shows some progression to their early 90s new jack swing sound), and the music video is basically a LOONA concept. We love them again.

 

[Inland Empire]

Yeah, I forgot to mention it but the video is fantastic. Genuinely quite unsettling near the end.

Me accidentally stanning the Red Velvet trash.

Hmm, I think the fact that ITZY have their own style is what I actually like about them. And it's a little bit too soon to critisize them for it because they have only 5 songs.

ITZY keeping the haters talking while us MIDZYs keep walking and winning...

 

[codecat]

To be honest...I can't wait for KSOTY2019 so I can give 1,5 and 1 to Dalla and Icy. Everything about Itzy is so shallow and try hard....JYP sacrificed Miss A and Wonder girls and gave us this? This is not the law of equivalent exchange.

It begins...

Oh my.

I've put Icy to the top of the queue for tomorrow's work playlist. My colleagues will stan.

Dddd iconique. Please release more Blue Moons!

Former idol Chuu also did it when she quit LOONA.

 

[Empty Shoebox]

So who's your bias?

 

[Vesperly]

Are Itzy's vocals even that bad (when they're not dancing or crying or whatever) or is it a Twice situation where everyone is just obsessed with them somehow being worse than nugu girl groups?

I think they're all okay vocalists, they just don't have an obvious lead vocal. There's no Jihyo, Rose or Wendy. I think Lia comes closest, but they don't seem like they're trying to push her as the lead vocal.

 

[junglefish]

There's no Jihyo, Rose or Wendy.

Not you forgetting Yuju...

 

[Reboot]

I honestly can’t tell whether people are joking when they say ITZY are “amazing” and ICY is a “good song”. The hyperbole on the previous pages is a bit much.

We don't talk about Big Hit acts here.
